The soldier Leo lead his misfit bandThrough shadows ninjas thought they would prevail.Their deeds were known but not the four by name;They fought evil but not for any fame.The acrobat Raph breathed a slow exhaleSome punks had a woman beat to her last stand.

With whispery movement Red descended down.Snick-snack! Two strikes and the punks were disarmed.The woman screamed and dropped her camera: ran.These monsters bore no resemblance to man."Stop her before the police are alarmed!"So Mikey dropped behind her like a clown.

And Donatello stepped into her flank:She was surrounded on all compass-points."Friends," the purple turtle said carefully.Journalist, surrounded, dropped gracelessly.She knew that defeat might score her a few points."Pee-yew, Mikey! You smell totally rank!"

Miss April awoke to a giant rat.It stared at her from across the room.April shrieked and backed up against the wall,Then turtles fell down and into the hall."Aw, she's scared of us," Raph yelled with a boom.And April just wished she had a large cat.

This can't be real, April's thoughts decided:"Turtles and rats can't talk," she provided.
